"You're Horrible" - A Depressed Kiribaku Story

He, loves me..?

TW: Mentions of self harm
————————————————————————[Bakugou POV]

Why did I have to tell him to come over? I could've just told him to fuck off.. then I wouldn't be in this situation. I am so screwed- I hear the knob of the door twist open, to see Kirishima staring into my room, worry in his eyes.

"What was it you needed to tell me?" Kirishima asks.

"Sit down," I respond, patting the open spot next to me. I can see little splotches of red seeping through my bandages.

[Kirishima POV]

I've never seen Bakugou this serious before, hes actually willing to TALK to me. This isn't like him, is something wrong? He tells me to sit next to him, so I walk over to his bed, dodging all of the things on the floor. I take a seat.

[Bakugou POV]

Well, he's right next to me. He's so close, I can practically feel his breath. I slowly move my right hand to unravel the stained bandages from my wrist, revealing the bloody wounds.

...

"Bakugou... why?.." Kirishima asks me, tears streaming down his face.

"Are you sure you want to know?" I ask him. Beads of water are forming in the corners of my eyes.

"Yes... I want to know why you would do such a thing," he replies. His eyes are red and puffy, his cheeks are almost the same color as his stupid hair.

"I- I've been feeling bad about how I treat people. When you see me being mean to everyone, that isn't how I really feel. I put on an act so I don't look soft to everyone in class, but it makes me feel horrible. I don't know what to do," I stop for a second to catch my breath. What the hell am I doing? Why am I letting myself be so vulnerable in front of him? What if I can't trust him? What if he-

Kirishima's arms wrap tightly around my shoulders. His grip is so tight, it feels so comforting. "It's okay. Whether you're being mean or kind, I'll always see you as the same old Bakugou. You're an amazing person, you know that? You have talent, you're always so amazing at everything you do," I hug him back. My tears are dripping off of my face and onto his shirt. He continues, "I'm sorry you're feeling bad, but hurting yourself is never the answer. Can you promise me you won't do it again?"

"...fine," I respond, grinding my teeth together.

[Kirishima POV]

I think now is the right time to tell him how I feel. He probably needs a bit of extra love, maybe this will give him some reassurance that things will be okay... "Hey, Bakugou, can I tell you something?" I ask.

"What is it..." he responds quietly.

"I just wanted to tell you I love you," I pull away from the hug and look him in the eye, giving a small smile before wiping my eyes.

"...what do you mean you 'love' me?" Bakugou asks.

"It means I love you," I stand up and ruffle his hair. I walk towards the door, opening it. "Hey, call me if you need me, alright? And, let me know when you have a response."

I walk back to my dorm, hoping the decision I made was right.

[Bakugou POV]

As Kirishima walks out of my room, I lay down and pull the covers over my wet face. What does he mean? Love, as in, he has a crush on me? Or he loves me as a friend?... I lay there awake, thinking for a while. I feel bad for putting him through that. I should tell him I'm sorry-

I pull out my phone and pull up instagram.

B: I'm sorry.

K: For what?

B: For, putting you through that. You didn't deserve that.

K: It's okay! You don't need to apologize for letting your feelings out. Don't worry, I understand.

B: okay.

You know, he is kind of cute. His sharp teeth look like shark teeth, they really fit him. I love his hair, it's so soft, especially when he has it down. His overall face is adorable, and he's such a nice person.

I understand what he means. I feel the same way.

I take my phone off of my desk. It's 1 AM by now, he's well asleep. I go back on instagram and pull up his messages.

B: I feel the same way.

I put my phone back and shut my eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.

I had a dream where me and Kirishima were in bed together, just cuddling. He was telling me so many nice things, like how I'm amazing how he thinks I look cute. It was comforting while it lasted.

I woke up at 7:34 AM, to see a message back from Kirishima.

K: I'm glad. :) Can I come over today?

I text back.

B: Sure.

K: ❤️

My heart flutters. He sent a heart.. that's cute. I smile and roll out of bed. I notice the open cuts on my wrist, I need to bandage these up again... I walk to my bathroom and find the roll of bandages in the cabinet. I grab them, and begin wrapping my arm when I hear a knock on the door.

"Hey, Bakugou. You ready?" Kirishima calls.

"I'll be out in a minute!!" I yell back at him. I brush my teeth, throw on my uniform and shoes, grab my backpack and go outside. Kirishima is standing next to the door on his phone, waiting for me.

"Hey!! Let's go to class," he says, with a huge grin on his face.

"Okay," I respond. As we're walking, I glance over in his direction. Shades of pink are spread across his face, along with a small smile. He notices me looking at him, so I quickly turn away. My face is probably as red as a tomato...

[Kirishima POV]

I feel so happy, more than usual. He actually liked me back... he's the last person I'd expect to admit their feelings, I guess I'm just lucky. I look up to see Bakugou looking at me with rosy cheeks. He quickly turns away, his face is as red as my hair. Everything's gonna be okay.
